RE: Secret soft fork to mitigate potential risk?! More like firing the first shot!
this cowboy stunt of the top witnesses.
Based on everything I have absorbed thus far, I think they were acting in the best interest of Steem. Not sure if it was the right action yet, but I do have concerns about the precedent it sets.
In the end, nothing is decentralized. That is a false bullet point. Those with all the Steem do what they want in the end. No different with any other item of value..cash, gold, or digital currency. It's all a game manipulated by those with the most to play with.
Probably true. I am not even revolted about that anymore. I just consider their solution to the problem the worse.
But true, coercive actions are easier to implement. One of the black moments in the history of Steem, in my opinion.
Not sure it is the worst, but I may b missing something. I think the witnesses took action they thought was appropriate for the community. We do vote for them, so I am going to trust they will make the right decisions.
Like you, I hope this doesn't instigate something that wasn't there to begin with. Seems like Sun is taking it in stride in public, but based on what I have read, he is more than likely seething.
Yes, I also believe the witnesses did what they thought was the best. But their best is not good enough. And that's why we have debates on Steem. I understand in their plan, they couldn't make this public worrying Sun will get wind of it. Perhaps they should have listened more to those opposing, even if they were very few, and not be so euphoric over an idea messing with people's property... temporarily.
I don't know the man. We will see what the witnesses actually unleashed.
